Paris Jackson Forgives The Media On Twitter

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Paris Jackson and her brothers Blanket and Prince now officially have two guardians. It was confirmed that Michael Jackson’s nephew TJ Jackson was awarded permanent co-guardianship along with his mother Katherine Jackson.

If you recall Katherine lost guardianship when she left for a week-long Arizona trip due to the prodding of her children Janet, Jermaine and others. In her absence Paris took to Twitter to let the whole world know that her grandmother was missing and she had not spoken to her in several days. The 14-year old even threaten violence against her aunts and uncles.

“9 days and counting … so help me god I will make whoever did this pay.”

After the incident Katherine initially defended the actions of her children,

“There are rumors going around about me that I have been kidnapped and held against my will,” she said. “I am here today to let everybody know that I am fine and I am here with my children, and my children would never do a thing to me like that, holding me against my will. It’s very stupid for people to think that.”

She would later replace her sentiments with disappointment,

“Katherine has absolutely no desire to see them right now because she is just heartbroken that they betrayed her trust and didn’t tell her that Michael’s children had been trying to contact her. Katherine is extremely upset and disappointed in Randy’s actions that have brought so much unwanted chaos into all of their lives,”

Yesterday Paris Jackson shared a quote on Twitter from one of her father’s song to express her feelings.

“i’m willing to forgive the press , or forgive anybody , i was taught to love and forgive , which I do have in my heart” —michael jackson

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
